Annual winner named

The judging panel has named our annual Global Short Story Competition winner for 2012 and sifting through the winning stories from the year reminded us of the high quality of stories we receive.

In the end, we went for Ceri Lowe-Petraske for Counting by Numbers, which won in September. We chose it for its spare yet powerful writing and the way it wrings out the emotion in the reader. Ceri wins £250. You can read last year’s winners, and enter the competition, at www.inscribemedia.co.uk
